Greyscale mode is an option I'm using right now.

Very nice extension! Sometimes the first image on a page is briefly displayed in color, maybe it's my computer (Firefox under Linux). Is something like this also possible for Android?
Re:Remembering Phil Zimbardo (1933-2024) on Saturday October 19, 2024 @01:05PM (#41888991)
I watch his TED talk once a year about the psychology of evil and make me aware of the seven rules that he has established.

7 Processes that Grease the Slippery Slope of Evil

1. Mindlessly taking the first small step.

2. Dehumanization of others.

3. De-individuation of self (anonymity).

4. Diffusion of personal responsibility.

5. Blind obedience to authority

6. Uncritical conformity to group norms

7. Passive tolerance of evil through inaction or indifference
